[Snakebitten]

That if this team ends up drafting late in the first round, they will most likely end up with no picks in the first three rounds.

[Eagle Road]

My reaction is,,,,,,I forgot all about the Fireman!!!

My reaction is they have been ok except when they fall prey to "We're smarter than everyone else syndrome. Also, Twatkins?!?

You watch. They'll pick late in the 1st and they'll nail it...less pressure to nail a top 10-15 selection.

i'd give it a B. cox, johnson, and wentz were great picks. graham was a good pick. agholor is an average pick, but could still to the way of graham. watkins and smith were horrible picks. too early to comment on barnett.

Not as bad as I would have thought, just took some a little longer to produce

When looking at that list, it's actually the complete opposite of what you just said. When they're inside the top 20 (Lane, Cox, Graham, Wentz...jury out on Barnett) they've gotten a good player. When they're outside it (Watkins and Smith), where there's less surefire picks and they have to really on their own scouting, they fail.

Never understood why they cut Smith. He started to actually show progress towards the end of last year and has done a pretty solid job in Seattle with Cliff Avril hurt.

Good point...didn't really think that way when looking at the list.

I still have faith that they'll get a good Olineman. However, I read from Kiper that 1st round Oline talent is limited to 2-3 players as of now.

It's much better than I expected as Watkins and Smith are ingrained in our nightmares.

Graham took awhile to find himself but he's turned himself into a strong pick, imo. At this moment Agholor is looking like a strong pick with every passing game and I know none of us felt this way just a year ago.

i look at that list and say that's solid and maybe even better than solid.

Barnett looks like he is starting to come on as well.

Yep. I've noticed that trend as well.

[art vandelay]

i think we're conditioned to think they only draft Bs, Cs, and Js. the wentz pick obviously skews things, but if they were so bad at drafting, they simply wouldn't be a good team right now.

He really hasn't. He's legit bad.
